Girls Rock

This week's cool find is Rock & Roll Camp for Girls. This camp is Portland based and founded by a non-profit org. Their mission is to "...encourage, engage and showcase the musical, artistic and individual talents of girls and young women ages 8-18, and to empower them with tools for self-reliance as a means to enhance and affirm positive self-esteem".

There are a lot of things to like about this. For one, they're teaching young girls to develop their skills - unlike so many influences that put emphasis on being pretty and thin at an early age. And I like listening to a bunch of crazy little girls on a sugar high confidently sing off-key. Reminds me a little bit of me as a kid :-)

A Very Vegas Wedding

Mr. Evil and I just returned from a fantastic wedding in Las Vegas. Our good friends, Jasun & Christina, got hitched at the Tropicana Chapel. They were married by a singing Elvis and it was one of the best weddings I've ever attended!! We had a great time and I was able to get a lot of shots after the ceremony. The clouds suddenly moved in and covered the direct sun for about 30 minutes. We had great light and I was so happy! I know, I know, it doesn't take much.

Jasun and Christina, we wish you two all the best. You guys are perfect for eachother and I hope you have lots of fat babies :-) Thank you so much for letting me take all of those photos on your special day. I loved it! We're looking forward to seeing you soon. Here are some of the shots...
